dating while pregnant

Comments (110)

A girl I went to high school with did this. It was kind of weird, I mean the guy came to the hospital when she had the baby and everything. I don't think it's trashy, it's just not something I would be comfortable doing.

Personally, having been single while pregnant, I wouldn't personally date while pregnant. However, it seems to be a catch 22. Dating while pregnant, specifically someone who is not the father of your child seems to get a bad rep. But, at the same time, dating as a single mother appears to be looked down upon, as well. I feel like people should do what makes them happy, as long as it does not hurt someone else.

I assume you mean dating someone other than the person with whom she has procreated

I will admit that if a guy friend of mine told me he was dating a pregnant girl, I would think it was a bit strange. Not "trashy" really, just kind of an odd decision, to me. I'd ask him flat out if he felt like he was ready to be a dad - especially to a child that is not his own.

Seeing as how I have a fairly young child, I remember what it was like to be pregnant. There was a lot of time to kill, around 38 weeks I believe. How much preparation is needed? And once again, why is it anyone's business what this woman does with her personal time?

Yes I was able to do plenty with/to dh while pregnant. However it was his baby and since we are in a commited relationship there wasnt any chance (granted assumption that dh kept up his 6 years track record of not cheating) of exposing my child or myself to harmful std's.

I see nothing wrong with a single parent casually dating while pregnant. I think screwing dudes other than your baby daddy and exposing yourself and baby to dangerous situations is just plain trashy.

I also think it is trashy to smoke drink or do drugs while pregnant.

You got pregnant and decided to move ahead with the prefnancy do your baby the favor of keeping ylur self healthy and not exposing them to your vices... its only 9 months not 9 years

My single guy friends? Yeah...they might not conceptualize that there is a baby in the future. In utero, baby seems more of an abstract concept for many guys than a child. Especially if it's early in the pregnancy. I hear that all the time on birth boards...Dad doesn't seem that engaged until later in the pregnancy because it's not as "real" to them yet.

^^ Would you say the same thing if he was dating a single mom? I really don't see the difference.

That is actually a really good question. The only answer I can come up with is the appearance of a pregnant woman ( belly etc.) Besides that, I guess there really isn't a huge difference.

^^ What specifically about single pregnant women makes them incapable of safe sex? Do you think that since they're pregnant, they obviously don't know how to use condoms? Are you assuming their baby was an accident and they are irresponsible?
